RPAGF Chapter 771 The Divine Palace
Chapter 771 The Divine Palace
One after another, voices of "Greetings, Clan Chief!" rose and fell, and dozens of elders knelt down around Gong Qingcheng.
At this moment, their eyes were clearly filled with tears as they looked at Gong Qingcheng, as if they had countless grievances waiting for her return.
"You all need to get up and talk!" Gong Qingcheng said softly, her voice already choked with emotion.
She also felt guilty.
She knew very well that she had left Gongjia Village with a special mission, but she had been gone for tens of thousands of years.
Originally, according to the old clan chief's instructions, she shouldn't have been away for so long; she should have returned within a thousand years.
For the people of Gongjia Village, waiting for a thousand years is already difficult enough, let alone waiting for her for tens of thousands of years.
"Chieftain, you're finally back!" The elder at the head of the clan, Gong Yunchang, finally couldn't hold back his tears and cried out, "Waaah... We've finally waited for this day... Gong Family Village is saved, Gong Family Village is saved!"
After Gong Yunchang finished speaking through tears, he suddenly turned around and kowtowed repeatedly to the stone statue in the village, crying out, "Ancestors, ancestors, Gong clan ancestors, do you all see? Our clan leader has returned! She has returned! She has returned..."
"May our ancestors protect us, may our ancestors protect us..."
"May our ancestors protect us, may our ancestors protect us..."
"May our ancestors protect us, may our ancestors protect us..."
……
Seeing Gong Yunchang frantically kowtowing to the stone statue, the others followed suit, repeatedly kowtowing and shouting, "May our ancestors protect us! May our ancestors protect us..."
Faced with such a scene, Gong Qingcheng could no longer hold back his tears, and they finally burst into tears as well.
As if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed to her knees with a thud. As if infected by their chanting, she began to mutter, "Ancestors, ancestors, protect me! Your unfilial descendant, Gong Qingcheng, has returned too late! I have failed the expectations of my ancestors and descendants! I am guilty, I am guilty… Fortunately, the descendants of our Gong family village are still alive, and the incense of the Gong family village has not yet been extinguished. This has at least given me a chance to atone for my sins…"
"Hmph... atonement?" Before Gong Qingcheng could finish speaking, a very cold voice suddenly interrupted her: "I spared these old bastards from Gong Family Village and didn't wipe them out because I wanted to see if the Rising Dragon Technique that your Gong Family Village claims to possess is really as powerful as the legends say!"
Gong Qingcheng turned her head and her expression changed slightly.
She noticed at a glance that an elderly man with silver hair and a cane had appeared not far behind her.
You should know that with her cultivation level, even if she lost control of her emotions just now, it would not prevent her from sensing everything around her.
However, she didn't notice at all when the silver-haired old man arrived.
Therefore, the only explanation is that this silver-haired old man's cultivation level far surpasses hers.
You should know that she is a late-stage Immortal Emperor.
With just the right opportunity, one can reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
If the other party's cultivation level is higher than his, then he is a peak Immortal Emperor.
As a late-stage Immortal Emperor, the sense of powerlessness one feels when facing a peak Immortal Emperor is not something that can be resolved by risking one's life.
"Who are you?" Gong Qingcheng asked in a deep voice.
"Oh?" The silver-haired old man suddenly glanced at Gong Yunchang and the others with a smug look on his face: "What, haven't they told you about what your Gong Family Village has been through these past few years?"
The silver-haired old man suddenly changed the subject: "Over the years, all the young and strong people in your Gongjia Village have been taken away by me to help build my Tongshen Palace. Those left behind in Gongjia Village are just a bunch of old, useless cowards, hahahahaha..."
"Tong Shen Palace?" Gong Qingcheng's heart trembled.
She was very familiar with the name "Tongshen Palace".
Legend has it that in ancient times, some powerful beings in the immortal realm who reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor would build a divine palace for themselves.
This sacred palace must be ten thousand feet high.
After the Tongshen Palace is completed, one can cultivate and pray at the top of the palace every day. As long as one perseveres, one day one will move the gods of the divine realm. With just a little guidance from them, one can ascend to godhood in one step.
To put it simply, this Tong Sheng Palace was actually a very popular altar in ancient times.
However, at this moment, Gong Qingcheng was not concerned about that point. What she was concerned about was that since he was already building the "Divine Palace," it meant that he had truly reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
It's so weird.
Wasn't there a seal on the ancient star that supposedly made it impossible for a peak Immortal Emperor to ever appear?
What exactly happened in those ten thousand years? How could a peak Immortal Emperor level expert appear here?
Just as Gong Qingcheng was racking her brains trying to figure it out, the silver-haired old man spoke again: "Little girl, you really know how to pick your time to come back!"
The silver-haired old man paused here, then suddenly looked at Gong Qingcheng's bright red robe and said, "Oh, I didn't realize you were so thoughtful. What, did you know I'm thinking of taking a concubine recently, so you specially dressed up as a bride and prepared to throw yourself into this old man's arms? Do you want me to let your Gong family village go?"
"Shh!"
Just as the silver-haired old man finished speaking, a dark figure suddenly appeared silently beside Gong Qingcheng.
Upon closer inspection, the newcomer was a young man dressed in a black Taoist robe.
He looked to be only in his early twenties, with smooth and delicate skin. It seemed impossible to find a single flaw on his face; his fair and tender skin made him look like a porcelain doll.
Who else could this person be but Ye Fei?
Upon seeing the young man before them, everyone present was somewhat stunned.
Even Gong Qingcheng couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Before this, Ye Fei had been wearing a full suit of silver armor that covered him from head to toe, and the armor also had a helmet that covered both sides of his face, so even Gong Qingcheng couldn't see his full face.
It's easy to imagine how amazed Gong Qingcheng would be when she saw that the person in front of her was such a handsome and elegant young man.
He couldn't help but connect the Ye Fei in front of him with the portrait she had seen. The facial features were indeed identical, but one had a face full of pockmarks while the other had a face as white as jade. The contrast was too great, so great that even she couldn't accept it.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Fei smirked smugly. "Never seen such a handsome guy before?"
Gong Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Ye Fei, then immediately looked at the silver-haired old man not far away with a worried expression.
Ye Fei seemed to read Gong Qingcheng's mind. He reached out and shielded her behind him, saying calmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I heard what this old man said to you just now. He was indeed quite arrogant! Just tell me directly, how do you want him to die? Just give me a word!"
